Skid plates for VW!

newbielink:http://www.evolutionimport.com/ [nonactive]  has some of the best skid plates and they are worth the money.  We sold them at Performance Car Center In Regina, Saskatchewan for around $385.00( Canadian Currency).  With out one of these skid plates you always break the expensive plastic factory ones when bottoming out and you can break your oil pan and even do damage to your oil pump and crankshaft which can lead to more costly repairs.  So me being a VW Mechanic I strongly recommend purchasing one.  They not only protech but they polish up nicely using 1500 grit sand paper so it looks like a polished morrior aluminuim finish!

There certainly is a plethora of skid plate providers out there, but does anyone make a set of aluminum sideskirts to hold the plates properly?
